. "Of all things Ramen,Japanese, and delicious, Monta Ramen on Spring Mountain Blvd falls right in the middle. It's nothing mind blowing, nor is it terrible, hence the 3stars. \n\nFirst off... Place is SUPER TINY. So expect a wait and make sure to write your name down. Even when it's not packed, it get packed pretty quickly... And because it's so tiny, it tends to get uncomfortable when it's packed... And that's uncomfortable on both the eating and waiting end. Eating coz all the tables are close, even the bar area is hardly comfortable elbow room for the seats next to each other. And also when it's a long wait and you're eating, you seriously feel like EVERYONE waiting is watching you eat to see how much longer you will be sitting down. Uncomfortable on the waiting end coz there's not much of a waiting area at all. If you have issue with confined spaces... Not the place for you my friend. \n\nThe decor and seating does follow the more traditional Japanese ramen house with it being a small narrow restaurant, with wood tables and seatings. I noticed most if not all servers are Japanese so it keeps to the authenticity. Minus the Hispanic cooks lol \n\nThe food is good. Price is definitely what keeps me coming back and dealing with the wait and tight space tho. The taste and flavors aren't mind blowing and it's nothing to rave about to your friends. But it's definitely somewhere I can easily say \"I got the bill tonight\" without regretting it and feeling like I broke my wallet over a filling meal. I will say the portions are great for the cheap prices. \n\nMy favorite actually is not the ramen here but the pork belly bowl. The pork belly is cooked just right; not over or under cooked and just the right amount of sauce in the right to compliment the flavors of the pork belly. For me... That's the ticket item that has me returning. Plus another good point is service is fairly quick... BUT they have to be... They need their customers revolving in and out to accommodate for lack of space. \n\nTbh the location in Henderson is better. Just this area is closer to my house than Henderson. The ramen can tend to be too salty for my palate... But again like I said it's not amazing but it's not terrible. But definitely worth going for the prices and the pork belly bowl! Nom nom nom"^^ .
